I can't even tell you how much I learned throughout the process of making these shelves. Maybe the best thing I learned was how much I enjoyed it! I would be up at midnight doing a final coat of poly or at the hardware store excited about 1500 grit sand paper. I often get asked "where did you learn to do that?!" and the answer is always the internet! I read a lot of blogs and watched a bunch of videos! Here are some videos I found particularly helpful:
• Sanding Between Topcoa...
• WOOD FINISHING: Glass-...
• Polyurethane vs Lacque...
• HOW TO APPLY POLYURETH...
• How to stain wood LIKE...

☞ Thanks for watching! ☜
I’ve been waiting for this one TURN IT UP !
Thanks, Jack!!!!!!
That way Jack hypes literally EVERYONE on booktube up 😭🤌 we love a supportive king:’)
Haven’t we all😌
Jack you’re such a good friend and amazing supporter
Your bookshelves are phenomenal! I love the final "smooth as glass" texture! Pat yourself on the back; you deserve it!!
Each bit of the house you’ve worked on so far is bursting with your personality, you’ve really made it your own and that’s so awesome to watch :D
Thank you ♥️ I can’t wait to keep chipping away at it!!!
I think so too! It's like her soul has spread to cover everything she touches 🥰
At first I'm like "there's no way that's enough shelves" but you actually have so much room to grow!! How exciting 😍😍
They’re longer than they seem! 8 feet long! And they go so high, haha!
I LOVE the colour on the trim and door. What a fun way to get a pop of colour into a room without it overwhelming the space. Absolutely fantastic idea. Also the shelves are STUNNING. What a wonderful space you’ve created for yourself. ❤️
It’s like you’re our cool aunt who we go visit for the summer💕 Love this journey, love this journey for you, and love watching this become everything you imagined it to me
I love to be thought of that way haha
It's so nice seeing your home come together. I hope you're doing well. I've missed seeing your stories on Instagram but I hope your feeling happier without it.
gosh thank you
When I moved from California to Kentucky, i could only being about half of my collection. I donated close to 100 books to a new highschool English teacher for her in class library, and though I was sad to see them go, I was glad they had the possibility to spark some inspiration to read in some kids 😁
Hahaha I moved from California to Kentucky and had to get rid of 3/4 of my books too! 🥺 still a lot of heavy books though lol
"A room without books is like a body without a soul." (Marcus Tullius Cicero) Your room is bursting with soul!!! Well done Ariel!! Love it!!!
honestly shelf goals, Ariel!!
ahhhh thank you, Max!
Your books shelves are beautiful and your blue door with the purple trim makes me smile. Please give us a tour of the whole room soon, you are teasing us.
Thanks for taking us along on your home renovation journey l
I love that you put classical music over the organization montage because whenever I organize my bookshelves I’m always screaming internally and yet this was so soothing 😂
“It’s Saturday afternoon, I just want to wear sweatpants and a Sailor Moon hoodie.” I so relate!!
Before I bought my house, I had to squish in a small apartment for 8 months and there was no room for my books! I'm not ashamed to say that when I finally moved into my big house and unpacked all my books and art pieces, I wept with joy.
Can I just say I love the lavender/lilac baseboards and door trim? So pretty and ethereal. And I'm usually not a fan of open shelves, but yours do look phenomenal.
I've watched this more than once and simply can't get enough! Would you consider listening some things in the description, such as which brackets you used, dimensions of the wood, and measurements of how you spaced the shelves and backets apart? As well as which brand of stain?
Love Love LOVE!!!
😊❤👍
And the hallway and stairs are done too!! and love the pastel colors on the door and it's trim!
As both a book lover and a builder, you are literally such an inspiration, thank you for sharing this journey with us!
I highly recommend (Secrets of sanatan dharma) available on Amazon and Kindle...
Your Sailor Moon hoodie is EVERYTHING!
Love that you are true to your own style and don’t follow trends that are popular today and not tomorrow
This is ALSO my dream bookshelves !!! So beautiful
Ariel saying smooth like glass is a mood
I'd be so tempted to colour code them and have rainbow shelves. That would look so magical with your colourful door 🌈
Ariel I'm binging your renovation series and I CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP
I also really love how she's sharing little projects along her renovation process. A lot of reno channels just show the before and after with a big gap in between the construction time. These are fun simple projects that aren't on the internet like redoing a closet, or making a bookshelf wall or a FRAME haul!! I love it so much ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
OMG I am here for the Sailor Moon hoodie and love the new shelves.
Your projects certainly have your personal stamp on them. I love your book shelves! I, too, love books and completely appreciate how you are feeling having them on shelves and accessible! Well done!!! 👏👏👏
You are extremely talented. So much renovation takes immense patience and not to mention the stress it causes. Awesome 👏👏👏
It looks good Ariel I couldn't of put those shelves up, I didn't think that was easy.clever dad helping you and your mum not forgetting your brother.
Holy Guacamole! Is that snow in May? Wow! I love the periwinkle blue door and lilac trim. GREAT job on the bookshelves! The wood looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing your creative journey.
Love Love LOVE your bookshelves. This is exactly what I want to do in my book room instead of going to Ikea and getting the billie book shelves. LOVE IT - great job
Hi Ariel! I am LOVING all your home renovation videos! It gives me hope for my small, older house 😁 Your bookshelves look amazing and now I’m considering doing an above the doorway shelf in my room!!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
i screamed seeing the bookshelves... and omg ariel the DOOR! so cute ahhhh i loved this
I'm 6 weeks into owning my home and your videos inspire and enthuse me to work on my own (much smaller) projects. Thank you so much!
Im so impressed with how much work you put into your home, amazing. I love the personality of your estetic as well. Beautiful!
I am currently building my dream bookshelf/library right now and you have given me so much inspiration!!! I absolutely love how the shelf goes over the door!
WE NEED THE BOOKSHELF TOUR ARIEL
2:12 that's it. Ariel can't be any more relatable.
2:45 Ah, no I see my mistake
Those shelves do indeed look amazing.
SHE WORK IS SO CUTE
The bookshelves look beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this with us ❤️🌼❤️🌼❤️🌼❤️🌼❤️
I love the colors you chose for the room trim and the door color. It looks gorgeous 💖
I love it !!! And the colours of the door... God, Ariel, you are amazing.
Books are the BEST decor a room can have!! So pretty, and so joy inducing!
oh my gooood the painted trim and door are exquisite!!!! your house is gonna look so cool!!!
They are beautiful! Have been loving watching your house journey! Making each part your own.
I love all the effort you put into your shelves. They turned out absolutely stunning!! I'm also very much in love with the blue door and purple trimmings 😍
Your custom stain color is really gorgeous!
Wow!! Those shelves are gorgeous Im impressed 👏
Is this your office or library/reading room? I love the trim/door colors :) That was so much work! I probably would have just painted over the wall paneling ;) The shelves are awesome! (I heard you talk about them on the podcast, too ... you are such a perfectionist! ) Well done, Ariel! 💜💙🤎📚📚📚
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING WORK, ARIEL!!!
they came out awesome! it's been so much fun watching you make your home your own.
oh i love the purple door and surrounding!!
Looks great! Love the purple/pink door and skirting frame
Imagine how cool it would be if we all had a grandma like Ariel
this is my favourite comment
@@ArielBissett oh thanks! I love your videos
PUT TRAILING PLANTS ON YOUR SHELVES!
Okay, details. Last year I also got my place too and built THE bookshelves I always wanted. Wasn't sure how to decorate/arrange them. I was seeing a lot of pics with plants on bookshelves but, stupid me thought those only looked good on Pintrest and are for people who don't REALLY read. But oh my God, do I love all those vines caressing my books and it breaks up the kinda boring lines. They are pretty easy to maintain as well.
✌
What a great accomplishment with the book shelves.
they’re gorgeous!!
Beyond EPIIIIIIIC!!!!!!!
Now I want to shelves of my very own!!! WOW!!! So much inspiration!!!
😊❤👍
omg!! a wall of books I LOVE IT! i've been browsing the web for the perfect bookshelf and just didn't love any.. you've inspired me!
also your sailor moon hoody is amazing!!
I am so obsessed with the colours you chose for the room 💗💗
I finished this video and immediately started rearranging my furniture to make room for wall mounted bookshelves.
O M G the effort you put into those shelves, I cannot!!! And it really paid off 👏👏👏
Eeeeeee thanks, Kathy!!!
Not only love the look but I actually have to put in some shelves in myself so super informative/useful! Great job!
I am amazed at how pretty it is!
I love how you painted the door and the baseboard including the door frame. It makes the room look super cozy. Good job!
Loving your Sailor moon hoodie
Your shelves look like AMAZING! And also I loved the colour of the door .
I love your unique style and you do such a great job. You are making a lovely home and I think you'll live there a long time.
The bookshelves look beautiful 😍
Love the sailor moon hoodie
Wondering if you like to arrange books by genre or dewey decimal or custom? Always fun to be the one person to know where a certain book is and pluck it off the shelf!
This video sparks so much joy. Excellent work!
THE VIDEO WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR AND THE WAIT WAS SO WORTH IT. I'm in love with the shelves!!! It was super satisfying to watch the time lapses of you working on the wood and then putting all the books on the shelves! I'm always amazed at how much books add to a room, like they just create the loveliest atmosphere 💕
UGH this is the stuff of bookish dreams!! 😍😍💫
These shelves look amazing! And I love the colour of your door and trim!
😫 I cant wait for mine to be finished! We started on the demo of the library - 2.5 years after moving in. My books have been in boxes the first two year in this house. Progress is unfortunately very slow due to my (and my partner-in crime's) physical restriction. I hope, hope, hope to be finished by December!
I was great to see how another book nerd did their custom library. I have a slanted wall on one side, so I have a lot more measuring and cutting to do, but this just got me excited about the project - again!
Thank you so much!
You have inspired me to build my own bookshelves. Thank you for this! I absolutely love seeing you fix up the house!! It all looks fantastic!
Love your house coming together. I have three writers that you might like: Mercedes Lackey, Anne McCaffrey, and Piers Anthony. They all have some great books that I have in my extensive collection.
They’re so pretty omg🥺🥺
Yay!!! They look so good, I’m so happy for you!! Also I keep rewinding the part where you take off the wood paneling- because I have wood paneling in my basement and one day want that gone!
can we stop and admire those time lapses with classic music though. so peaceful to watch, I love every time you do this
You're such a ray of sunshine
That Monica & Rachel Apartment purple though!!! I feel like french poster from their apartment would look divine in this room too! 🥰🌼
I know this video is about bookshelves but I have to say that I LOVE the purple door
This is amazing!!!!! You are putting so much of yourself into your house a I love it. Also, you seem to have a fondness for books that have some shade or orange on the spine!
I like that light pink-purple color.
THEY'RE GORGEOUS
That timelapse montage from paneling on the walls to painted to putting up the shelves to _putting on the books_ (!!). Mmm! So satisfying. That room is beautiful; you did such a great job omg! Can't wait for the bookshelf tour!!
A work of sheer beauty... and much love
Ah! This was amazing! Even though I don't get to have these shelves I feel nothing but joy!
Loved this! I would definitely be interested in a nail polish vid. Your nails are always painted in such fun colours and I would love to see your nail polishes.
This has reminded me that I want to do a shelf above my bedroom door. I have a very small house with small rooms, and a menace of a tuxedo cat. A shelf that runs the length of that wall above the door frame will be just perfect for paperbacks and knickknacks. Thanks!
This is exactly what I needed after a hectic day at work
Oh well done!!!! You just tackle each room with such gusto. Xx
Okay this was AMAZING! The trim/door, the shelves, the ENTIRE ROOM... I’m simply obsessed!! Loving this series, Ariel!
Seriously love this video and your whole channel!! Love to see a fellow Canadian killing the book tube/house reno content! 💖 honestly such a vibe
I’d love to see a video about what your thought process was for organizing
i absolutely love those shelves, and dare i say way more than the bulky shelving units
Now this is the content I want to start my weekend with! I absolutely love them, you did an amazing job. Tons of respect!
I can't believe you have a copy of Klee Wyck!!! I just read it, and even before I was finished I thought about recommending it to you, because I sure knew that it would be your cup of tea. It's the perfect book for you.
